M.S. Environmental Science, 2016

In the field

I participated in the Behavior and Benthic Ecology Lab's 2014 and 2015 expeditions to our long-term study sites in Prince William Sound, Alaska. We collected small giant Pacific octopuses from under boulders while conducting intertidal surveys. In 2015, I arranged for the crew of "Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin" to follow us in the field and back in the lab, highlighting our year-long process of collecting, observing, and releasing giant Pacific octopuses.
